$250 fine for violators is not a deterrent nor enough of a penalty. Should be an automatic $1000 ticket, an immediate tow, and 30 day impound of the vehicle.
+Fred Davis I see exactly where you're coming from. A fine of $1,760+costs will get their attention really quickly. Plus, you should look up that scenario from Stanley Roberts of a woman using her daughter's disabled placard...and getting pissy about it when confronted.
At Walmart, when I saw one I took my key to their paint job. The word scum carved into their door will help them to remember. I am a bilateral BK leg amputee on prosthetics, and I needed that parking spot.
It's a MICRO-PUNISHMENT with that tiny fine.. $250 fine on a $55K car! ALL HANDICAP SPACES SHOULD BE MANDATORY TOW-AWAY ZONES. Impound those luxury cars and make the ENTITLE people take a city bus to the wrecker yard.
The fines, in some cases are to low! Not so much for the working stiff, who is also a boob who feels they can park in a handicap spot, but just think about the wealthy obnoxious fool, who could care less they might have to pay, what to them is pocket change! I feel, as a placard holding handicapped drive, there should be a surcharge, of say 5% of the value of the car that could cost six figures, that's driven/owned by some wealthy person that a $ 500 fine is nothing but dine out money!!!! Maybe if they were to get a $5,000 fine, for parking their $100,000 Mercedes in a handicap spot, that might get them to think twice about it. I'm a. Dry conservative guy, but the fine system in place favors the wealthy! But can greatly penalize the working stiff, where a $500 fine, means a great deal!!!! But to someone who could spend that amount on a bottle of wine??
My husband is handicapped, we were looking for a spot the other day, when we saw a young girl (early 20's) pull into a spot & get out of the car yapping on the phone. She looked perfectly healthy to me. We yelled at her & she just looked & kept walking. We'll just drive around the parking lot aimlessly till a spot opens up.
Terri just because somebody is in their 20's doesn't mean they are not disabled. I'm 26 and disabled. . Just because somebody is young and looks healthy doesn't mean they are healthy. It's disgusting to get judged by people like you who have no idea what the fuck is going on in that persons life. I get looks from people like you ALL the time and really all I have to say is fuck yourself you judgmental piece of shit. Maybe next time you'll think twice when you see somebody who is young in a disabled spot legally with a placard or plate.
Damn right!! Keep it up! This problem is AWFUL here in Montgomery, Alabama, where it is horribly abused 24 hours a day and the cops completely ignore it. I’ve called our lazy-ass police and they act offended that a citizen is pointing out a problem, almost to the point to defending the violations. I’m not handicapped but if we’re gonna have these spaces then before their use, dammit!!
Some States the fines start at $ 50.00 and go to $ 1,000.00 which great plus they will have your vehicle towed right away from the Handicap space and before you can get it back you will have to go to traffic court, so then you get court cost, a parking ticket, inpound fees plus a Towing bill and you have to show that you have a release form from traffic court inorder for your vehicle to be released
When I see someone stealing a handicapped spot, I take the weights off their tires so if they can have a rough and wobbly ride home, then pay to have the tires rebalanced. 🤣🤣🤣
Just so people know, I will honestly call the police and a tow truck if you don't have a Handicap tag or place card hanging from your rear view mirror, because I am a Retired United States Army Veteran / Disabled, and it's not fair to anyone of us that needs the space marked HANDICAP
Many of the signs in this story are deficient and make enforcement impossible in Ohio. Funny how the ableists say ADA needs leeway yet they use the technicality to get out of tickets.
How about when they don't have a handicapped placard or plates. I know age don't matter, the only time I'll park in a handicapped spot is when my hubby is with me. I'm not going to take the spot from someone who really needs it (if I'm by myself). And the aggravation it causes.
Terri Romero Well obviously they're at risk of being caught by a Police Officer and being issued a citation. You said you park in handicapped spots, so when you do park in them are you legally parking in them?
Without a state-issued disability permit. So what does that mean. Does it mean Ohio permits are no longer good any other state or Province other than Ohio

Totally agree!
AGREE horrible walking in heat with prosthetic leg, imagine it sliding off due to sweat.
And when they get caught they get all pissed off: "I was only there for a minute!" Tough. I've been handicapped for almost 20 years. Wanna trade?
Selfish Americans! They are like The Borg!
Do like they do in San Francisco $880.00 for parking in handicapped parking space, $880.00 for misuse of placard + court costs. And enforce it.

Tara Rayburn Great response, I don't think I could have said it any better myself. 👍
Tat2Dragons Thank you! I can't stand judgmental pieces of shit 🖕🏼
Umm but YOU have a permit, I am guessing that girl didn't have 1 and STILL parked there!

The fine should go to the handicap person they inconvenienced.
22 tickets, you can do that everyday if you were even interested in doing so. $250 should be 800+ that would get their attention.
That fine is sufficient, but taking that plaquerd away permanently is a deterrent!

SOOOO wish would crack down in my area but highly unlikely.
Ticket AND TOW
The fine should be $1,000
Than towed , That will be a real deterrence

I get pissed when they give these handicapped placards to obese people, make them walk and burn a few calories.
@@jonboll-LGM what's your serious underlying condition?
I see this at our local Wal-Mart in Mt.
Is Narcissistic personality disorder a handicap ?
the fine should be increased to $2500.usd.
Make the fine $500 plus tow the vehicle.
good
